What do you think? Do you like the Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
renewed our African American need more television sitcoms that enforce the truth on real life lessons and comedy at the same time. Our shows get booted off the air when their really Good. Keeping us in suspense and disappointed.
It needs to be renewed because it opens up our eyes about our spouse, ourselves, and sometimes even our children. This show teaches the viewer some many different needed things.
Keep it coming I love that show…now that Angela is pregnant? I want to know what’s next.
Please keep my show on.
Please DO NOT cancel my show. It is really getting good with Marcus daugther. Richard going off. I think he should find a way get his ish back. From Kesha. She had that coming.
Renew it. I love this show.
Please please renew the shows keep them coming i love all the characters jennifer, angela, even keisha and of course pretty little lady we need to see what will happen with pam and how she develops with marcus as her newly found dad. We love these shows. Dynamic. Please return
Please return this series to tv. Love everything Tyler Per8ry does. Hes an exceptional person with so much going on. Hes abrilliant talented artist. Bring back the show and lets c what happens to mzkeisha bcause no one should b that rotten and dirty to their husband, especially after what she did to Marcus all those years with the daughter issue. Come on Mr Perry dont leave us hangin like u did with the Paine family. What happened with that?
I hope the show does not cancel. I believe the drop in ratings is due to Friday nights and also the Richard Keisha storyline. Alot of it is unrealistic. She needs to get what’s coming to her for all that she has done to not only Richard but to Marcus as well. I don’t like Keisha’s roll letting young girls think they can get a head this way.
I love this show, cast and I believe many people do. i believe loss ratings are due to showing on Friday nights, That’s the end of a week, the weekend, when everybody is out and about doing something! Hope it’s not cannceled, nothing else, or not too many other shows I will watch or enjoy watching like this one!
I believe the main loss of ratings is the Keisha storyline. Anything she does has become annoying and she needs to get paid back for some of her dirt.
The acting has gotten pretty bad as well. it takes too long to get to a real conversation and the back and forth is very annoying. And that pitiful laugh track.
What happened to the children?
Tyler and Oprah, please do not cancel the show. I look forward to seeing the cast every Friday. It is a perfect spin off from Why Did I get Married. Poor Richard, we must see the brighter side of his situation and update us on Marcus newly found daughter. Keep the drama laughter going
Please renew and keep in the Friday time slot. I would like to see Richard be on the winning side against Keisha who is a true GOLD DIGGER!!!
Exactly! I have had enough of Keisha it’s time she gets whats coming to her!
i think the show should be renewed it depicts an unrealistic portrayal of women who lie cheat and through trickery get a mans money house and half of his business’s which is not true he had said business before he married her she i n no way contributed or worked at said business to make it successful. She might have een entitled to some of his share of business profits during there Union but definitely would not give her half of his business. It makes it seem as though the women who have won homes or shares in the businesses… Read more »
I think it should be renewed because keshia need to be taking care of last shows leaving women thinking they can do what they want to a man and get away with it not so or true
I like the show, but the Richard Keisha storyline is so unrealistic. Its not fair that she can put her hands on him, and provoke him. Todd should have told the whole story, and the fact she took everything after a year long marriage, and has stake in his business COME ON NOT REAL.
